W.E. Hormones and the Holidays

Hormones and the Holidays

As chemical messengers, our hormones control nearly every physiological process in the body. So, while hormonal balance is super important for our well-being, it’s not always easy to achieve or maintain during the holiday season. Added stress along with consuming more sugar and alcohol than usual can quickly disrupt hormonal balance making you feel anything but comfort and joy. In fact, the holiday season finds many women experiencing an increase in mood swings, hot flashes, depression, insomnia and other stress related symptoms.

Sugar not only creates highs and lows in mood and energy, it disrupts the hormone insulin, which in turn impacts all other hormones in your body. Sugar also contributes to hot flashes, irritibility and of course, weight gain. Alcohol depletes mood-boosting B vitamins and magnesium, is known to trigger hot flashes and it contributes to depression. Holiday depression affects millions of people each year and is directly associated with stress, sugar consumption, fatigue, unrealistic holiday expectations, financial limitations and challenging family matters.

Add the stress of holiday shopping, entertaining, attending parties, etc. on top of your already busy life. Cortisol, the hormone released by the adrenal glands during times of mental, emotional and/or physical stress, like what we experience during the hustle-bustle of December, literally depletes the calming, “happy hormone” progesterone. Yet, maintaining a healthy level of progesterone is absolutely essential since it converts into other hormones as needed (including estrogen and testosterone) supporting natural hormonal balance.

Keeping your hormones in balance will greatly improve your ability to cope with stress. And, experts say that beating the holiday blues may be as simple as balancing your hormones. Well, the best way to do that is with our chemical, fragrance, gluten and GMO free bio-identical progesterone cream, Feminine Balance Therapy. Progesterone also acts as a diuretic and natural anti-depressant, helps normalize blood sugar levels, promotes healthy sleep patterns, calms anxiety and uses fat for energy. What a perfect holiday gift to give yourself!

Here are some tips to help you make this “the happiest season of all.”

Feminine Balance Therapy restores healthy progesterone levels to naturally create hormonal balance and ease the symptoms associated with PMS, perimenopause and menopause. It is especially helpful for women with an excess of estrogen or, "estrogen dominance." Chemical, fragrance, gluten and GMO free with select organic herbs, it brings great results to adult women of all ages.
